A Special Thank You to the Staff of St. Croix Hospice for all the Love and Support.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. May you find comfort in the Bible promises of a resurrection. Isaiah 25:8 tells us: He will swallow up death forever, and the sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.” Isaiah 26:19 “Your dead will live…and the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.” My deepest sympathies to the family!
